The Mountain Bulbul initially gave me the impression of a woodpecker - a long thin beak and a fairly stiff looking tail along with colours vaguely reminiscent of green woodpeckers. As the name suggests they are a species of upland forest and is found in this habitat throughout most of continental South East Asia. It was also probably the least shy bird I encountered in Genting Highlands and was much more willing to allow me to see it clearly than other species.
